Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 441 Mingyou is just a mischievous girl; that's how it's supposed to be (Seeking monthly votes)

"Kira..."

A wish...

Jirachi leaned back slightly, sitting blankly on the sofa, tilting its head with curiosity. It had always been the one to grant wishes to others, but it seemed to have never thought about its own.

Or rather, given its mindset, it would be perfectly content as long as someone could play with it, and it would be impossible for it to consider so many other things.

Meloeta pursed her lips. For some reason, she sensed a trace of loneliness in the child. Even though he had lived for so many years, the days he was conscious could only be counted in "days".

This is fate...

"Let's think about that when we're out having fun. Today is Qixi Festival!"

Mingyou chuckled as she picked up Jirachi and continued, "I even canceled my dates! I'm planning to take you all on a wonderful trip this year, so you can leave all your worries behind and create amazing memories on this island!"

"Yeah, have fun!"

Xiao Zhao slowly walked to the side.

Seeing the smile on his face, Jirachi nodded gently, smiled happily, reached out and pinched Naruto's cheek hard before breaking free from his embrace.

"Hello!"

"Kira~"

Seeing Jirachi regain its energy and fly around everywhere, everyone smiled helplessly. On this last day, they would just enjoy the fun together!

On the streets of Green Ridge City.

The surge in tourists has made the place even more lively. Amidst the bustling crowds and Pokémon, many Clefairy darts through, but it seems that not many people notice them.

Sally held up her camera and took pictures everywhere. She had just come from the Sinnoh region this morning and never expected that a meteor shower would attract so many people and Pokémon to watch it. It was like a grand event.

"That's awesome! I'm getting more and more excited to see what tonight will be like. It's a pity that Sister Zhulan isn't here..."

She muttered to herself with a hint of regret, but at least she wasn't completely alone; she still had Mingyou and the others.

Ok?

Just then, she put down her camera, a hint of doubt flashing across her exquisite and beautiful face. She looked up at the crowd in front of her, at a stall selling astronomical collectible figurines.

But the footage she just captured on her camera, showing a tourist picking out items at a stall, was clearly a girl with pigtails, but when the camera panned, she transformed into an adorable Pipi with a bow in her hair.

"How strange..."

She didn't believe her dynamic vision could be wrong; after all, the girl disappeared in the blink of an eye after she pressed the shutter, it wasn't like she teleported.

Looking through the photos on her camera, she was certain that the person standing at the stall just now was a girl, but now... perhaps there were too many tourists and she had slipped in and gone?

After thinking for a moment, Sha Li accepted the answer and didn't dwell on it anymore. At the same time, she received a message from Ming You...

On the other side of the street, Naruto and his group, along with Kirachi, were also walking around, experiencing some new shops that were only open today.

After sending a message to Shali, he ate some cream pudding. Out of vigilance following the attack, he subconsciously observed the situation on the street. He frowned slightly as he watched the Pipi people coming and going like tourists.

"Speaking of which... why do I feel like there are more Clefairies on the street than people? Aren't Clefairies relatively rare Pokémon? Have they multiplied? Or did someone disturb a Clefairy nest?"

"I think so too..."

Xiao Zhao walked to the side. No matter how big the Pipi Club is, it's impossible for there to be so many Pipi. Just on this street alone, there are probably several hundred Pipi. They're practically an overpopulation.

Not many people noticed this anomaly. Ponpo and the others didn't seem to realize anything was wrong. Only Meloetta, after seeing Pippi, recalled seeing a few Pippi with binoculars in Sootopolis City, but didn't pay any attention to it.

It told Jirachi the process of making a wish, and was now looking for suitable paper to write down its wish on, which it then hung as a wishing slip on the largest bamboo tree in the center of Green Moss City.

Instead of making a wish on Kirachi, everyone writes their wishes on paper together during this festival, which is part of experiencing the holiday!

"Kira~"

It's finished!

Jirachi put down its pen. Though as innocent as a child, it is quite good at learning as a Psychic-type Pokémon. It can learn human writing very quickly, otherwise it would not be able to understand the wishes.

Seeing that it was the first to write down its wish, Meloetta and the others curiously gathered around.

At this moment, Mingyou snapped out of her thoughts, looked over there, and said with a smile, "It's better if no one sees the wishing slips before they're hung on the tree, otherwise they won't come true. Let's hang them up together later."

"Kira~"

Upon hearing this, Jirachi immediately hid the wishing note, afraid that others would see it.

Meloeta smiled and wrote her wish on a wishing sheet. Then everyone walked together toward the city center square.

Sally had been waiting there for a long time. Upon seeing the two arrive, she immediately waved and said, "Over here!"

"Long time no see~"

Xiao Zhao greeted her. The two had a very good relationship, after all, they used to be colleagues at Blueberry Academy, but they hadn't seen each other since Xiao Zhao resigned and ran away.

They started chatting about their recent situations. Mingyou took Ponpo and the others to hang wishing slips on the bamboo, but they were a little late. The trees were already covered with wishing slips and ornaments containing them, so it was a little difficult to find any empty spots.

"Mommy~"

Why not just pick someone else's?

Mingyou patted the teacup and said softly, "Don't do such a despicable thing, you'll be cursed and your green tea will turn into iced black tea."

"Mmm..."

Then forget it.

While they were playing around, Meloetta was also helping Kirachi find an empty spot, and soon she saw a whole bamboo strip that was not hung with anything on it from a high place.

"Melo~"

"Kira~"

Jirachi followed, taking out a small yellow star-shaped pouch with its own design embroidered on it. This was something Meiyu had bought on the street and given to it on the way here. It contained a wishing note so that it wouldn't get damaged if it was hung on a tree.

With Meloeta's help, it hung the small pouch on a branch, but then its gaze unexpectedly fell upon what was written on the other person's wishing note.

I hope the concert will be a success...

"Kira~"

Is this what my sister wished for?

Thinking of this, it suddenly remembered that Mingyou had said that before hanging it on the tree, one should not look at the wishes on other people's wishing slips, otherwise they would not come true.

So... this is bad!

That won't do!

Noticing its flustered state, Meloeta turned around and looked at it with a puzzled expression.

"Melo?"

"Kira!"

Jirachi quickly shook its head, unwilling to speak. It was terrified that its sister would hate it because of this, and what if she stopped playing with it in the future? It would never hear her sing again.

But the wish just won't come true, so let it solve the problem. It's just a wish... But my sister also said she only wanted one last wish, so... Well, then I'll help her fulfill it one last time!

Just as Jirachi was making its decision, several Clefairys were observing it from a high-rise building in the distance, monitoring its every move through binoculars.

The commander-in-chief has given the order: since we can't eliminate those two humans, let's leave them alone for now. The outcome won't change anyway. Just keep an eye on Wishing Star and don't let them out of sight. Humans, being such lowly beings in the universe, can't possibly guess their plans. Then, just wait quietly...

Inside the central square of Green Ridge, Sha Li excitedly introduced the location she had found to the two of them, saying that they could see the best meteor shower there.

"Mmm~"

Ponpo couldn't wait any longer and took out the new equipment that Mingyou had bought for it some time ago from its cloak, which was specifically for filming meteor showers.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from the crowd: "You guys are here too~"

"Um?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a man wearing a jacket and sunglasses, who was still covered up in the heat, waving to them. Beside him was a purple-haired woman wearing a sun hat, and they seemed to be a couple.

Who is it?

Mingyou was slightly taken aback, looking around, thinking that the other person was looking for someone else.

But the two walked straight toward them, only stopping when they were right in front of them, gently pulling down their sunglasses to reveal their flamboyant faces.

"It's me~ You didn't even recognize me, I'm so sad..."

"ha?"

Seeing Mikoli reveal her identity, Mingyou was shocked. It was as if she had become a completely different person. How could she have completely covered herself up by putting on clothes?

Mikoli was also full of helplessness. If he showed up in front of so many people, it would cause big problems. He didn't want to be disturbed by anything during his hard-earned holiday to go on a date with his girlfriend.

The purple-haired woman beside him is Nakia, the Gym Leader of Lilycove City, and also his girlfriend. They have known each other since childhood, and both of them battle in a flamboyant and elegant style. They have been dating for two years now.

After understanding the situation, Mingyou suddenly realized, "I see, so you came here to hang up a wishing note?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect to run into you guys. Maybe it's fate~"

As he spoke, Mikoli shook his head slightly and began to complain, "I thought I'd have some free time after I stopped being the champion, but I'm still swamped with work. This meteor shower doesn't seem dangerous at all, does it? The Green Ridge Space Center said there's no problem."

"Ha ha……"

Mingyou chuckled softly. It's better not to talk about Jirachi. As long as we can get through tonight safely, nothing else will happen.

After saying goodbye to Mikoli and Naki, Mingyou and the others decided to go with Shali to the place she had mentioned and reserve a spot in advance so that other tourists wouldn't take it.

But not long after she walked out, Mingyou felt a slight tremor in her body, as if a tingling sensation was running through her entire body, and she immediately froze.

In a daze, he felt that everything in front of him seemed to have become much lower, and even Ponpo had grown taller than him. Could it be that he had squatted down?

That can't be...

Briefly bewildered, he gently patted the small photo beside him, feeling as if he had touched something soft, but he didn't pay attention to it at the moment. Instead, he asked, "By the way... don't you think anything is strange? Like... the way you're looking at me?"

"Come to think of it, it does seem... eh!!!"

Xiao Zhao turned around, and upon seeing the figure in front of her, she let out an incredulous cry, covering her mouth: "Pipi talked! So cute!"

"What Pipi?"

Mingyou instinctively turned to look, then gasped and exclaimed, "You too!"

"ha?"

Hearing the sound, Xiao Zhao finally noticed something was wrong. She turned to look at the glass of a shop not far away and saw her reflection.

At this moment, her body was milky white and star-shaped, with small wings on her back, three toes on her small hands, only one toe on her short legs, small eyes, pink ears with green tips, a white headscarf on the top of her head between her ears, and a large, curly tail behind her.

Her expression was one of shock. She slightly opened her mouth, revealing a sharp little canine tooth, which, combined with the blush on her cheeks, made her even more adorable.

She transformed into a different colored Pippi, and Mingyou beside her also turned into a Pippi, only slightly larger than her. However, since she wasn't wearing a headscarf, a tuft of curly hair on her head was visible.

The two were completely stunned.

Not only them, but at this moment, almost all around were Clefairy and a few other Pokémon. There were hardly any human figures to be seen. Even Sally, who was walking in front, could only identify the Clefairy's true identity through the camera in her hand.

"So... what exactly is going on?!"

Xiao Zhao looked at her short hands, completely bewildered. She had actually turned into a Pipi, and it wasn't an illusion; she could really feel it.

Mingyou stared at her reflection in the glass and complained angrily, "You've already changed... at least turn into Rowlet or Newleaf Meow!"

"Is that what you care about! And what's wrong with Pipi?"

"really……"

Mingyou immediately rushed forward, reaching out her little hands to hug Xiaozhao's milky white tail. Even in her new form, Xiaozhao still smelled sweet, and that curled tail was so soft and bouncy—it felt so good to touch!

rub rub~

"Hey, no...don't do this, it feels so weird...it feels like something's wrong..."

Xiao Zhao blushed slightly and gently pushed him away, then looked at him with a resentful gaze and exclaimed, "Be serious! At a time like this, we should be thinking about what to do. How can we turn back into humans?"

"Hmm...calling the Great God of War, Aoyama Gakuin?"

"That would be too overpowered..."

"We can't possibly... um?"

At this moment, Mingyou finally noticed something strange again. She had turned into Pipi, but Ponpo and the others seemed completely unaware.

"Ponpon, haven't you noticed any problems with me? Like turning into Pipi or something."

"Hmm?"

Isn't it always been like this?

Ponpo looked at him in confusion. Mingyou was originally a mischievous character; that's how the book was set up.

"Huh?"

Mingyou was completely stunned. It's already chapter 440, and I'm only now finding out that I was originally set up as a mischievous character? By the way, what do you mean by chapter 440?

"..."

Something's not right. Ponpo wouldn't joke around with me, let alone Lucario and the others. They all have the same puzzled look on their faces, as if they were the strange ones.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Zhao. Both of them had solemn expressions and realized the seriousness of the situation. They finally understood why there were so many pimps on the street these days, but no one had noticed.

Just as the two were pondering what was going on, all the devices playing videos on the street, including Rotom's cell phone (which had turned into Pipi) and the large screen in the square used to broadcast the game, all simultaneously switched to the same image.

Then, a figure emerged from within, revealing this long-planned conspiracy to the world…
